It has been exactly three months since Wayne started school and we have lost track of the number of times he has fallen ill since. He must have taken bottles of cough and flu medication. Sigh.
This time round, again it started with the flu and cough earlier this week and finally the fever too, on Friday evening. Wayne's temperature went up to a high of 39.2 degrees, and over the 2 and a half days, we've controlled it with doses of paracetemol and nurofen. Though today he is much better, I think we'll bring him to the doctors tomorrow, in case it is an infection requiring more attention.
Good thing that his fever came on Friday night, so we could look after him over the weekend, not having to work the next day. The past two nights with him sick have basically meant hardly any sleep for mommy and daddy. Mommy would set my alarm to ring every hour just so I could check on him and ensure that his temperature had not soared to worrying levels. Last night, daddy and mommy spent about an hour sponging him, as his fever had risen to high 38s almost reaching 39, while it was another hour before he could take his next dose of medication. Heh, it wasn't too bad, Wayne and mommy ended up having some snacks (we were both hungry!) and took turns telling each other bedtime stories, although it was 2am!
That's one thing good about our little boy, he generally doesn't fuss too much even when he is sick and all uncomfortable (except when its time to put on his fever patch!) He still loves to talk even when sick, and would go on and on about Thomas & Friends or his school friends. All while cuddling mommy.
Get well soon, darling!
